"My lord, the damage and spoils of war have been cleared." A soldier reported the results of this operation to Allen.

Thirty-two slaves were killed on Allen’s side, 21 were infantrymen, three were soldiers of the mountain king, and the other seven were seriously wounded, and the rest were only slightly wounded. In exchange for this, it was Dick and the two captains who killed more than a hundred bandits and captured more than 70 prisoners. If the war slave is removed, in fact Allen's main force is only slightly injured, and this part of the loss is still within an acceptable range.

In addition to the prisoners, the biggest gain of this cleaning operation is the supplies that Dick intends to transport to the Black Iron Fort. This part of the spoils can already be described as a huge harvest, the most of which is equipment, of which there are 30 fire/guns alone. They are wrapped in oilcloth, and each fire/gun is brand new. With them, Allen can arm at least one fire/gun squadron.

In addition to the fire/gun, there are also a batch of light armor, ten sets of plate armor, and a large number of good swords. According to a rough estimate, this batch of equipment is worth one hundred thousand gold coins. Next is gunpowder, a box of gunpowder adds up to at least two hundred kilograms. Gunpowder was widely used in the empire. In addition to the use of fire/gun artillery projectiles and shells, there is also a broad space for use in mountain mining and civilian use.

Therefore, whether it is for personal use or for sale, this batch of gunpowder is of great value.

Finally are gold and jewelry. Although there is only one box, they are the most direct wealth. Even when Allen saw those round and smooth pearls, pure gems and blocks of rectangular gold bars, he was dazzled by the jewel. The savings that Dick had under his management over the years have now become Allen’s pocket, making him sigh that he still got rich by robbery.

After asking the soldiers to fix the spoils on the wagon, Alan led the team to leave first. In addition to bringing the spoils back to Storm City for proper disposal, those captives also need to contact Roger as soon as possible. Selling them to Roger as slaves and letting him domesticate the bandits is a better way to deal with them.

Some people stayed, mainly cremating the war dead, so as not to cause a plague due to too many corpses.

The setting sun is like blood, casting long shadows of the departing team on the ground. On a high **** a few hundred meters away from the police, someone put away a monocular telescope. Behind was a team of cavalry, with only 20 cavalry, all of them in black armor. Even the war horses are uniform in pure black, and the black riders are black riders, and they line up in a row with their own momentum.

The man with the single-scope telescope said silently: "Let’s go, Dick is over, and the history of the Blood Rock Wasteland is about to be rewritten. I think Sir Sharon needs to know this."

"My lord, they haven't gone far, don't we do anything?" A knight stepped forward: "They have Dick's goods in their hands. Those should belong to us."

"Of course I know, but do you think we can eat them?"

The knight proudly said: "Our Black Cloud Knights never fear any opponent."

"Although fearlessness is a virtue, sometimes people should still know some awe. Otherwise, fearlessness will become a kind of arrogance." The man shook his head and said: "Dick has already used the Boiling Demon Crystal , But even this is still killed. I ask you, who of you can kill Dick in a state of boiling blood?"

Knights, look at me, I look at you, everyone is speechless.

"So, we have to go back. A guy who can kill Dick in a state of boiling blood, Sir Sharon needs to re-examine himself and his opponent. Perhaps Kurt is still unable to provoke such an opponent."

After a while, the knight on the high **** walked cleanly. In the western sky, the sun finally fell below the horizon, and the indigo-blue night was slowly dyed on the sky.

Night has fallen.

Returning to Storm City was already two days later, and the captives were handed over to Raig for handling. After hearing that Dick had temporarily raised the source power level, Reg frowned and said: "From the adult's description, Dick should have used Boiling Demon Crystal."

"Boiling Demon Crystal?" It was the first time Allen heard this.

"Yes, that is a magician's patent. Some powerful magicians can make such magical items. The role of the boiling magic crystal is to activate the source power in the user's body, so that their potential is instantly Released to achieve the purpose of temporarily improving combat power.” Regard added: “However, the output of this magic crystal is extremely low, so it is expensive. And the side effects are also very serious. Usually, after the use of boiling blood magic crystal, it will produce the nervous system. Very serious injury, and this injury is irreversible."

"But on top of the Boiling Demon Crystal, there are two more excellent quality Rage Blood and Burning Blood Demon Crystals. Relatively speaking, the side effects of the Rage Blood Demon Crystal are much smaller, and the Blood Burning Demon Crystal It is known for its safety and no side effects. However, the latter two, especially the last one, are scaryly expensive, and not everyone can get it."

Allen finally understood that the blood boiling magic crystal Dick used was equal to a certain stimulant, and it was the one with the greatest side effects. Nonetheless, due to the temporary increase in combat power, some strong players will buy magic crystals for emergencies. As for the two magic crystals of angry blood and burning blood, Dick could not get them. The output of these two kinds of magic crystals is extremely low, and the blood burning magic crystals are only supplied to the imperial family and the one or two ** level powerhouses in the empire.

Unfortunately, there are not enough conditions to make mana equipment on this planet, otherwise the middle and low-end mana weapons can completely replace the boiling magic crystals without the slightest side effect. If you have such equipment, you should not worry about sales.

As soon as this thought passed, Allen focused his attention on the job at hand. First, let Reger use the Gale Eagle to send a message to Roger, and let him send someone to receive the prisoners. These captives are bandits, and they are strong enough to be sold as war slaves. In the slave trade, the price of war slaves was higher than that of ordinary slaves, but considering the long-term relationship with Roger, Allen lowered the price a little.

Anyway, as his territory expands in the future, the most indispensable thing he lacks is the captives. This will be a long-term cooperative project.

Then sent another message to Reese, mainly selling a batch of weapons and equipment obtained from Dick. Except for the thirty fire/guns left for personal use, Allen only left a small part of the sword and armor in the warehouse as a spare, and the others were intended to be sold to Rhys for gold coins. It was better to sell things like weapons and equipment to a chamber of commerce that specializes in equipment sales like the Iron Flag Chamber of Commerce, but now the attitude of the Iron Flag Chamber of Commerce is not friendly, and Allen can only take second place.

As for the gold bars and jewels, he plans to leave the gold bars, and the jewels will be handled by Jessica of the Lily Chamber of Commerce. Jewelry also belongs to high-end crafts, which is also the main business in the Lily Chamber of Commerce. Allen believes that it is easier for them to exchange jewelry for cash. Now that Storm City and Sul City have undergone the initial integration, listed on the to-do list are the steel mill, the weapon workshop, and the religious business of Father Miró.

Any one of these needs money as a support, so Alan has never needed money as much as he does now.

After he had arranged the affairs that he needed to deal with in the near future, he looked up and found that it was already dark. Allen exhaled, leaning on the chair, feeling only a burst of exhaustion. It has nothing to do with physical fitness, it is purely fatigue after a high degree of mental tension. He smiled, and now finally knows how difficult it is to be a lord.

Sitting in this position, there are so many things to consider. From military power to territorial economy to people’s livelihood and public opinion, all aspects must be considered. Only in this way can the territory grow rapidly. Of course, there must also be a focus on the military. There is no doubt that in an empire with constant wars between nobles, force naturally overrides other elements.

Speaking of the army, the strength of Storm City can barely be justified now, but after all, the scale can't get rid of the pattern of a jazz leader. This is also helpless. After all, there is only so much land and limited people. Of course, it is impossible to continuously inject new blood into the army. If the army is to expand, then a wider territory is necessary. With territory, there will be leaders. With the leader, it is natural to recruit new recruits.

To gain more territory, then war is the only way. All these are closely related and interlinked, and no one can escape the theme of war.

War! war!

Ellen couldn't help but rubbed his eyebrows, and now the pattern of this border land has stabilized. He already owns two cities, and his territory should be larger than that of ordinary jazz. The blood rock wasteland has also been cleaned up, and the remaining thieves will have to leave soon, or be rehabilitated. Dick is no longer there, the biggest bandit no longer exists, and the other weak have no room for survival.

The only thing to worry about is the Black Iron Fort on the other side of the Blood Rock Wasteland. Now Alan doesn't know what kind of person Sir Sharon is, but from Roger's words, it shouldn't be an easy character to deal with. Allen carefully calculated the power he possessed, and began to consider whether to uproot this dangerous neighbor before entering the hinterland of the empire.

Otherwise, the rear is unstable, how can he be determined to go northward?

Since he decided to deal with Dark Iron Fortress, Allen immediately had many ideas. One of them is to sneak into the Black Iron Fort for reconnaissance. Knowing this and knowing the enemy can survive a hundred battles. This is a truth that every commander should understand, and Allen is of course no exception.

When it comes to sneaking and spying, besides him, there is another quite suitable candidate.

Belmod!
